Now she'll have to get a driver!

So you're saying Whaley was right

For the next decade or so we'll need to find a way to get past Jackson and/or Mahomes to make it to the Super Bowl. If he runs a 4.3 he can be used as the spy.

Didn't read the entire thread, apologize if this has already been posted https://www.gq.com/story/everson-griffen-mental-health

You actually may have a point. Article says the husband has been to at least 150 games. He would know this isn't exactly atypical behavior, that incidents like this happen at almost every game. Might not exonerate liability completely, but might lower the judgement if there is one.

I once heard a fairly famous personality asked what his favorite golf course was. His response was that you had to take Augusta National out of the conversation because nothing else compares to it. In that same mentality I think you need to take Freddie out of this conversation as he is loved by so many here. With that in mind, I agree with those that picked Aaron Schobel.

Would love to get what we gave up to trade up to 22 for Losman. 2 and 5 this year and that 1st round pick next year. If Herbert or Love are still there maybe someone will take the deal and I can finally let that trade go.

How else could it be interpreted?

There were several Philip Rivers in 83. Next QB after Elway was Todd Blackledge at 7, some guy named Jim Kelly went at 14, then Tony Eason at 15. Marino went at 27 shortly after O'Brien. What Elway had for leverage along with baseball was the USFL option.

You had plastic bags!?? Had to carry my books in my arms.

No one could have imagined this 50 years ago....oh wait, maybe Rod Serling.

Guess I misinterpreted what you were trying to say. Thought you were adding him to the list of Clemson busts when your point was not all Clemson receivers taken in round 1 were busts. My apologies.

No way Butler was a whiff. Averaged over 800 yards a year under ground Chuck (interpolating the strike shortened 82 season to 16 games.) ROY in 79, first team all pro in 80. Knee injury in 83 really slowed him down (missed half of 83 and all of 84.) Still, almost 800 yards on a 2-14 85 team, held on to the TD pass that resulted in career ending injury in 86. Buffalo Rumblings had him on the Bills' 50 man all time team (in 2009, probably wouldn't make it now.)

No need for me to read 4 pages of responses when the first one echoed my sentiments. Might depend on what happens with Shaq and the Phillips brothers (one FA, one coming off injury,) but even if all 3 remain Bills I would like to see this pick.

Hey, season is over and the draft is over 2 months away, have to kill time some how. If you're really from Rochester you should get 100% (I did.) https://www.women.com/vanessa/quiz-only-a-true-rocheser-local-can-ace-this-test-can-you?utm_source=wdc_fb&utm_medium=FBsharerbutton&utm_campaign=20170414&fbclid=IwAR2YB1KnhQjK9JbGkj9fLwhinTw6smuWqsC2T3AxDaq0T6anD9pWUkw0VQ8#/results

This thread is challenge challenged

The treatment he received was experimental and involved infusing the injury with cooling liquid through his veins rather than applying ice to the outside. Staff had only recently been trained on it, not sure but I think it was that week. They weren't even certain if it would help or hurt.

Kevin Everett is living and walking proof of the high standards of NFL medical emergency standards. Had his injury occurred in the 80's or earlier he may not have lived, almost certainly would not have walked again. A few years ago Golic on his radio show saying how when he played, if someone stayed down after a head hit, the players wanting to help would take the helmet off of the injured player.

Even Rickey Henderson only referred to himself in the third person one way...Rickey.

Like driving, you're responsible for yourself and whoever is in front of you. If you hit someone that's in front of you, it's your fault, end of conversation. I was taken out from behind on the steep part of skyehawk at Killington several years ago. Helpless feeling.

Alta's ski only policy was taken to court and appealed, but remains ski only. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/04/19/474878983/court-upholds-snowboarding-ban-at-utah-ski-resort

Nice way to end the thread, on a humorous note

Until 2015 when some guy from New England tied it, he was the answer to the trivia question "Who played in the most super bowls" (Beebe was a member of 6 super bowl teams but didn't play in one because of injury.) ?Not sure how a 6th round pick that played for four years (in Buffalo, a few more elsewhere) can be considered a bust.

Sorry for your loss.
